​Try the following command on a computer you had kmod-jfs installed:

​$ ls -l `find /lib/modules -name jfs.ko`

It will show where the module was installed (in the extra/ directory) and
may show symbolic links to other kernel versions (if any) that are
compatible.

In the case of the kmod-jfs package, there was a kABI breakage when going
from el7.3 to el7.4. As a result, what was built against el7.3 was broken
in el7.4. It has now been built against the el7.4 kernel. This one is not
backward compatible with earlier (< 7.4) kernels.
